Where to go in Top End: Darwin, Kakadu & the Kimberley

Kununurra

Kununurra means ‘big water' in the local Aboriginal language and the town is the gateway to some of Western Australia's best natural attractions. From here visit the Purnululu National Park and Bungle Bungle Range.

Broome

Broome is a small pearling town in the state's north with an exotic history thanks to its world-famous South Sea Pearl industry. Today, a chilled out vibe, colourful lifestyle and vibrant environment have made it a Mecca for creative people of all types.

The Kimberley

Mighty rivers and wetlands teem with wild game fish and marine life and its vast vistas are infinite. One of the least populated places on earth, the area's isolated wilderness is truly awe-inspiring.

Arnhem Land

Of staggering size – 91,000 square kilometres – and filled with varied landscapes, Aboriginal-owned Arnhem Land is well worth spending some time in. In the middle of Australia’s northern coast, its boundaries are beautiful ones: Kakadu National Park, the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Katherine & Nitmiluk Gorge

Often described as the place where ‘the Outback meets the tropics’, Katherine and the Nitmiluk Gorge area is home to diverse landscapes and unique ecosystems that set the scene for adventure activities like fishing and four-wheel driving, canoeing and camping, bushwalking and bird watching.

Kakadu National Park

Kakadu National Park is acknowledged as Australia's most diverse and stunning landscape and offers real outback adventure travel. Kakadu lies roughly 170km south-east of Darwin in the Northern Territory.
